educational games
Fun with lessons
Educational games are games designed to teach skills or knowledge while entertaining.
The category spans from children's toys teaching letters and numbers to sophisticated simulations used in corporate training or military exercises.
The educational element may be overt or disguised—some games drill facts directly, while others embed learning in gameplay: My kids learned geography from educational games without realizing they were studying.
